Ocean Jade Metallic (Ozean Jade Metallic, codes J3 / 25K) is a distinctive, vivid blue-green metallic that occupies the teal-aqua territory between conventional green and conventional blue — a polarizing color that Rennbow characterizes as best appreciated in person rather than through photographs or online debate. The hex places it firmly in the bright teal zone, closer to the color of Caribbean shallows than to forest green or ocean blue, giving it an unmistakably aquatic, vivid quality that is unlike any other color in the Porsche catalog of its era. It was available on the 993/996-generation 911 from 1999 to 2000 and on the 986 Boxster from 1998 to 1999 — a late-1990s color that reflects the period's appetite for more unconventional metallic choices. Rennbow notes it is often confused with Wimbledon Green Metallic, which shares similar territory, and comments that pairing it with a green interior amplifies its boldness considerably. As a two-year standard color, production examples are not numerous, and the color's unusual chromatic position ensures that it is never mistaken for anything else.
